THE mother of tragic Sara Sharif said yesterday: “It is not human to do this to your own child” after the ten-year-old’s dad was found guilty of her murder.
Olga Domin, 38, lost a court battle to keep Sara from the clutches of evil Urfan Sharif, stepmum Beinash Batool and uncle Faisal Malik.

She believes the trio, who will be sentenced on Tuesday, should suffer as much as Sara — and die in jail.
Her body was found by police in her bunk bed on August 10, 2023.
A post mortem uncovered 25 fractures and 71 external injuries, including six human bite marks, and burns from a domestic iron.
Last night a friend of Olga said of Sharif: “How could social services ever give Sara to that man?
“He’s the worst of the worst. He treated her like a dog.
Taxi driver Sharif, 43, throttled Sara and beat her with a cricket bat and metal pole, sometimes tying her hands and legs together with parcel tape.
She was made to wear makeshift hoods during attacks and Sharif urged another child to hit her like a punchbag as if it was a game.
Batool, 30, often called Sharif back from work saying Sara was being naughty and knowing he would beat her up.
Meanwhile, Malik, 29, who lived with them in a flat then a cramped three-bedroom house in Woking, Surrey, failed to raise the alarm whenever Sara was attacked.
Sharif hit Sara twice on the abdomen when she lay dying because he thought she was pretending to be ill.
The brute refused to call for medical help and it is suspected the three jet-washed Sara’s body before fleeing to Pakistan, leaving her in the bottom bunk.
She had started wearing a hijab to school to conceal injuries to her face and head.
An Old Bailey jury yesterday found Sharif and Batool guilty of murder following an eight- week trial.
Malik was found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child.
Polish national Olga said: “I still can’t believe what is going on, this situation.
“It’s not human to do this stuff to your own child.

“I can’t believe he was hitting her belly when she was dying. I still can’t manage that. They should all get the same for what they were doing. Monster is too nice word for him anyway.
“I hope he will be dying in jail.”
Paying tribute to “angelic” Sara, who dreamed of being on The X Factor, Olga said: “She was always laughing, smiling.
“She loved all the kids. She was always helping, and making videos. She was an amazing child. She was saying ‘I’ll be a model’.
“I just don’t get why she is where she is.”
Sara was living with Olga from 2015, when they fled to a domestic refuge to escape Sharif’s violence.

He was having supervised contact at a Sure Start centre in Reading before a family court hearing in 2019 which ruled Sara should live with Urfan.
It is understood Olga did not contest the ruling at the time.
Friends say Sharif took accusations made against him and threw them back at Olga — and used the same tactic in his trial by blaming Batool for Sara’s murder, before admitting he too beat her up.
Olga was allowed contact with Sara, supervised by Batool, but she said the couple blocked this a few years before Sara’s death.
The youngster has been laid to rest in Poland in a grave bearing her mum’s surname and adorned with flowers. Olga visits daily.
Newly released pictures show Sara playing with other children in a garden, and sitting in front of a teepee which Olga made for her.
Olga also said in a statement released through Surrey Police: “My dear Sara, I ask God to please take care of my little girl, she was taken too soon.
“Sara had beautiful brown eyes and an angelic voice. Sara’s smile could brighten up the darkest room.
“Everyone who knew Sara will know her unique character, her beautiful smile and loud laugh.
“She will always be in our hearts, her laughter will bring warmth to our lives. We miss Sara very much. Love you Princess.”
Sharif also dished out horrific abuse to Olga, who said he did it all with “really evil eyes”.

She said: “He choked me with a belt, he tried to set me on fire, he beat me with his fists. He was putting the oil on my body. His friend stopped him. He already had the lighter in his hand.”
Olga said Sharif would sleep with money all the time and she had to plead for cash for food for the children.
She added: “He told me that he dressed me and no one would help me if I left him because I don’t know the language and I have never worked here.
“He said he didn’t like my friend. I wasn’t allowed to meet her. I went to pick up something from the shop and he wouldn’t let me out. I was working nights cleaning the pubs.
“They kicked him out of McDonald’s (where he was a shift manager) because he was stealing money. He didn’t have a job. He took all the money from me.
“He took £4,000 from (benefits back payment). I took £100 to buy clothes for my kids and he hit me because I took the money.
“He would be cunning and would take my phone and he locked me out around three times.
“When he did this he had evil eyes, really evil eyes. I was alone in a foreign country, without a language, without a family, until I finally realised that this was not the life I had and left.”
Olga was taken to a domestic violence refuge in 2015 and their divorce was completed in 2017.
Sick Sharif spent six days lying to Old Bailey jurors, claiming Batool was an “evil psycho” and the “true villain of the piece”.
On his seventh day in the witness box, Sharif dramatically confessed to beating Sara with a cricket bat and pole and ultimately killing her.
But the self-confessed coward could never bring himself to admit he had murdered Sara.
At one point he told the court he beat her repeatedly and intended to cause her “really serious harm” — but he then went back on his testimony insisting he had never meant to hurt her ever.
Police found a note by her body, written by Sharif, which said: “I legally punished her and she died.”

Once he landed in Pakistan, he called 999 to say: “I’ve killed my daughter. I legally punished her and she died.”
Batool and Malik both refused to give evidence.
Det Chief Insp Craig Emmerson, of Surrey Police, said the trio only sought to preserve their own interests and showed no remorse.
Mr Emerson added: “Sara was a bright and lively little girl who loved singing and dancing.
“Sara’s spirit and bravery and resilience in the face of the suffering that she endured has shone through from the vast inquiries that have been undertaken in this case.
“Sara’s young life was brought to an end as a result of the brutal abuse and unspeakable violence inflicted on her by Sharif and Batool, which Malik did nothing to prevent.”
